Alex Haidaris, MSTCM, L.Ac.
Alexandra ("Alex") Haidaris is a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Oregon. She graduated from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland, California where she earned her Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTCM). She is nationally board certified (NCCAOM) and has an undergraduate degree in Anthropology from San Francisco State University. After graduating, she continued her education in herbal medicine by studying traditionally used herbs while travelling in Siberia for 2 years.
Before becoming a practitioner, Alex was a patient receiving acupuncture and experienced great results. Her desire to help people, interest in health and herbalism, and her personal experiences with the effectiveness of TCM converged into a passion for sharing TCM with others. She particularly enjoys treating digestive issues, insomnia, and musculoskeletal complaints such as pain and arthritis, and loves to utilize cupping, tui na (massage), and lifestyle/dietary advice.
Alex has a nurturing and accepting approach, always truly meeting people where they are at. She enjoys learning about the diverse experiences of her patients, and hopes with everyone she meets to share with them the joy of living and healing naturally.
When not practicing, Alex enjoys hitting the trail, eating out at just about any cuisine, and experimenting with dishes at home. Otherwise, you might find her with her nose in a book!
From Alex's Patients:
Alex is an incredible practitioner and my experience at this clinic has been extremely positive. Her guidance and expertise has been a wonderful introduction to acupuncture. She carefully tailors each session as needed and has been able to support a variety of health needs, including migraine prevention, fertility support, and immediate relief from back pain. Would highly recommend this clinic and Alex especially to anyone seeking acupuncture.
Before going to Alex, I have had over 15 years of acupuncture and TCM experience. In the first visit, I immediately noted that Alex was very experienced and on point because my TCM doctor in China stimulated the exact same pressure points.
Alex is very caring and patient. After 3 months of treatment, my low blood pressure condition has improved. My upper pressure is now 3 digits vs 2 digits before the treatment.
Dee, the receptionist, is very friendly and detailed-minded. I enjoy my experience with them very much and I will keep visiting in the future. Keep up the great work, ladies!
I’ve had acupuncture off and on for over two decades. The effectiveness of the treatments I receive from Alex have been the best I’ve had. I get them as part of my self care but also focus on specific areas of need when they come up. She has definitely helped me to continue a very active lifestyle of playing basketball and lifting weights into my 50s. I recently started massage therapy with Dea and she clearly has “the gift”…releases so much tension, it’s awesome. Lastly, G&L totally takes care of billing my insurance, which makes it incredibly easy…my favorite provider!
